Summary: For Export to AutoCAD:
-Create Layer Modifiers for Cable Tray Service Types
-Create Layer Modifiers for Cable Tray Type*

*Type or anything that can categorise them into Tray, Basket, Trunking, and Ladder



Description: *Create Layer Modifiers for Cable Tray Service Types
-Currently, when we export to Autocad, all cable trays/ladders/trunking will be in the same layer name. The Layer modifier option does not have the "Service Type" parameter so it's impossible to have the different containment serving different areas in different layers.
*Create Layer Modifiers for Cable Tray Type
-It would also make it easier for us to have a layer modifier using the Type Name*. In my case, I create 4 cable containment types: Cable Trunking, Cable Basket, Cable Tray, and Cable Ladder. I wish to have them in different layers when exported to autocad.

For instance,
For an IT Cable basket, Power Cable Trunking, Power Cable Tray,
As of now in Singapore, when we export it to Autocad, all these services will be under: E-_ELECCABL_E

But I want to have them in different layers like: E-_ELECCABL_{TypeName*}_{ServiceType}_E, so,

IT Cable Basket will be: E-_ELECCABL_BASKET_IT_E
Power Cable Trunking will be: E-_ELECCABL_TKG_POWER_E
Power Cable Tray will be: E-_ELECCABL_TRAY_POWER_E

That's the concept, anyway. The type name can be something else but it will have to be something that can differentiate them into cable containment types (trunking, tray, basket, ladder)
